GUI: Misc

In this panel, you can control various emulator options that didn't fit in any of the previous panels. Changes made here can be saved to a .uae config file and override any defaults that may exist in the amiberry.conf file.

• Untrap = middle button: This option enables the use of the mouse middle button to release control of the mouse pointer, in Amiberry. If you enable this, the middle mouse button cannot be used under AmigaOS, however. It will always release the mouse.
• Show GUI on startup: This option controls if the GUI should be shown on startup, when a configuration is loaded. If you want to start emulating immediately when loading a config file, you can disable this option. This is useful if you launch Amiberry from the command line, passing a parameter of a config file to load.
• Synchronize clock: Syncs the Amiga clock to the host time
• One second reboot pause: This option inserts a one-second delay, during reboots. Useful if the emulation is too fast for you, and you want to enter the Early Startup Menu by holding down both mouse buttons, for example.
• Faster RTG: This option will skip parts of the custom chipset emulation, when RTG modes are active. This will help performance with RTG modes, and it's enabled by default.
• Clipboard sharing: This option allows you to share the clipboard between AmigaOS and the host OS (Linux/MacOS). You can copy/paste text between the different environments if this is enabled.
• Allow native code: This option enables the support for using host-run and other similar tools, to launch host commands from inside the emulated system. For example, using host-run you can launch a Linux tool from inside AmigaOS, if this option is enabled. Since this can also be a security risk however, it's disabled by default.
• Status Line native: Shows a status line when native (PAL/NTSC) screens are open. The status line contains various "LEDs" that will indicate system information.
• Status Line RTG: Same as the native option above, this will show the status line in RTG modes. If you want it always visible, you can enable both options.
• Log illegal memory accesses: If this option is enabled, then illegal memory accesses from the emulated environment will be logged in the logfile (if that is enabled).
• Minimize when focus is lost: If this option is enabled, when Amiberry loses focus it will automatically minimize it's window. Useful only in graphical environments (e.g. X11).
• Master floppy write protection: This option allows you to centrally write-protect all floppy images, in case you want to avoid accidentally writing something to them. They essentially become read-only.
• Master harddrive write protection: Same as the above option, but for hard drives. They will become read-only if this option is enabled.
• Hide all UAE autoconfig boards: This option will hide all UAE-specific boards from the system.
• RCtrl = RAmiga: Use the RCtrl as the RAmiga key, useful if your keyboard doesn't have a Right Windows key.
• Capture mouse when window is activated: If this option is enabled, the mouse will be automatically captured if the Amiberry window is selected. Only useful under graphical environments (e.g. X11) where the mouse can move outside the Amiberry window as well.
• A600/A1200/A4000 IDE scsi.device disabled: This option will disable the internal IDE scsi.device for those Amiga models, making it faster to boot up, since there won't be a delay in the startup anymore (due to scsi.device scanning for available drives).
• Alt-Tab releases control: If this option is enabled, then you can use Alt-Tab to release control from Amiberry. In this case however, that key combination can no longer be used under AmigaOS, as Amiberry will always intercept it.
• Warp mode reset: This option enables "Warp mode" during resets, to speed-up the reset process.
• Use RetroArch Quit button: If this option is enabled, then a retroarch mapping for Quit will be allowed (if found)
• Use RetroArch Menu button: If this option is enabled, then a retroarch mapping for Opening the GUI will be allowed (if found)

Status Line

This is an example of how the Status Line looks like:

From left to right, the various LEDs indicate the following:

• 0: Sound buffer usage. If you see this flashing yellow, it indicates that the buffer is exhausted and Amiberry is struggling to keep up.
• 1: CPU usage, in percentage.
• 2: Frames per second. You want this to be 50 for PAL modes, and 60 for NTSC ones. If it's lower, then your board is not fast enough to keep up
• 3: Power LED
• 4: HDD activity LED
• 5: CD activity LED
• 6: Network LED (only shown if enabled)
• 7: DF0 activity
• 8: DF1 activity
• 9: DF2 activity
• 10: DF3 activity/CD32/CDTV NVRAM LED
• 11: Current board temperature

Assigning keys/buttons

You can also assign some common keys or buttons here:

• Open GUI: The key to open the main Amiberry GUI. By default, this is F12.
• Quit Key: A key to quit Amiberry immediately. None is set by default
• Action Replay: A key to open the Action Replay/HRTmon. The default one is the Pause key.
• FullScreen: A key to toggle Full-screen/Fullwindow and Windowed mode. None is set by default
• Minimize: A key to minimize Amiberry. None is set by default

LEDs

You can assign your keyboard's LEDs to indicate activity and status of various functions:

• Power: Power LED (on/off)
• DF0-DF3: drive activity (will blink when the drive is reading/writing)
• HD: Hard Drive activity (will blink when the drive is reading/writing)
• CD: CD Drive activity (will blink when the CD drive is reading)
